It's completely true that Backbone is somewhere in the middle. It's a light framework to make things more modularized and maintainable in a somewhat large javascript application. Of course you can make things even better for very large javascript applications. That's not the point. Backbone handles best applications that are neither 20 LOC (for which jQuery is enough) nor 200K LOC. That's why it's pretty popular. It corresponds to a need.
